Appraisal
This attractive house with its associated outbuildings is a fine example of a turn of the century farm complex. Of particular note is the render decoration, finely-executed, and the bargeboards to the porch which add to the aesthetic appeal of the complex. Possibly encompassing an earlier house to the north, this house retains much of its original character.
